How do I post a question effectively? and
Writeup Formatting Tips. Ill-formatted and unclear questions are less likely to get you useful answers. In particular:
- please wrap code in <code> tags.
- what do you mean by "processes the names"?
- histrionics actively discourage monks from helping (i.e. "HELP!!!")
Assuming you have a script named "1234.pl" that "processes the names", the answer to your question can be found in perlrun in the form of a command-line switch.
